Directions
1 - Rinse beans, pick out stones, cover with water, and soak for 12 to 14 hours, pour water out when done. 2 - Soak kombu seaweed for 2 to 3 hours in small amount of cold water. 3 - Pour 300 ml of water into a pressure cooker. Add beef bone, beans, tripe, black cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, kombu with water, and cook for 17 minutes. Reduce steam and remove the bone.
Comment #1. Large beans like handsome johnny are normally cooked for 2 to 4 hours, and for 30 to 35 minutes in a pressure cooker. This method reduces time of cooking in a significant way.
4 - Fry onion and garlic in a pot for few minutes. Transfer all from the pressure cooker to the pot. Crush few beans using a fork. Add bell pepper, tomatoes and seasoning. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes over medium heat. Stir sometimes. The dish should thicken itself.
Comment #2. You may add less spicy ingredients because this dish is as hot as fire.
